THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR
I WEDNESDAY, OCT. 17,1894.
The Democratic party is the
"Peoples Party," and always has
been.
South Carolina has more looms
and spindles and uses more bales
of cotton for manufacturing pur
poses than any State in the South.
A boom has struck the South
Carolina College. The students
this year number one hundred,
and a number are entering from
time to time in addition.
The Republican party in South
Carolina has decided they will hold
no convention, but they will put
out a candidate in every congres
sional district, so we hear.
Mr. W. C. Mauldin, of Green
ville county, has sold one thousand
pounds of tobacco this season for
10 cents a pound. This lot of to
bacco was raised on an acre and a
half of land.
Gov. Hogg, of Texas, describes
the doctrines of the Populists as
"a conglomerated ma3s of moon
shine thrown into the sights of un
suspecting voters by a cunning
class of chimerical clackers."
The women of tho Southern
Methodists Church have built and
equipped a school in Kansas City,
Mission, at a cost of $100,000, for
the sole purpose of training young
women for missionary work at
home and abroad.
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Winthrop Nor
mal and Industrial College at Rock
Hill last week, it was announced
that the college will be ready to
open next September. The com
mittee will decide what appropria
tion will be needed to finish the
work on the college and dormi
tories.
We learn that the walls of the
building at Clemson are ready for
the roof, and the prospect is good
for the building to be ready for oc
cupancy about Jan. 1st. We also
learn that there is a probability of
the reduction of the price of board,
as the trustees have been investi
gating it and found that the cost
does not amount to seven dollars
per month.
The sugar combine has dissolved
and cheaper sugar may be expect
ed. Last May the big grocers
formed this combine to insure uni
form profits on sugar. But the
country is overstocked with "sweet
ening," and as the new crop is
coming in the Chicago members of
the combine have given notice that
they will suspend the rules of the
association indefinitely.
Gen. Maury, in a recent number
of the Youth's Companion, has the
following incident of Gen. M. C.
Butler's wounding at Brandy Sta
tion :
Gen. M. C. Butler, of South Caro
lina, was seriously wounded and
maimed for life at the battle of
Brandy Station. He and a young
captain named Farley had just
come out of action in the early
morning, and were laughing to
gether over some amusing incident
they had noticed. At that moment
a cannon ball came bounding at
them. It struck Butler's leg above
the ankle, tore through his horse,
and cut off Farley's leg above the
knee.
Down they all went. Butler be
gan to stanch the blood with his
hankerchief, and advised Farley
how to do the same. Capt. Chest
nut, Lieutenant Rhett and other,
officers came running to Butler's;
help ; but at that moment he ob
served that Farley's dying horse
was struggling, and seemed likely
to crush its rider.
"Go at once to Farley!" cried
Butler. "He needs you more than
I do." j
They did as they were bidden,
and Farley was placed in a litter.
He asked them to bring his leg and
put ir, too, in the litter. Then he
said :
"Now, gentlemen, you have done
all for me that is possible. I shall
be dead in an hour. God bless you
for your kindness. I bid you all an
affectionate farewell. Go at once
to Butler.
That evening Butler's leg was
dressed in the hospital just as poor
Farley breathed his last. The two
men had never seen each other till
that morning.
"Henceforth," says Gen. Maury,
"we shall not need to go to Sir
Phillip Sidney forgan example of
noble self-sacrifice."

I say gone, because the last I saw
of it 'twas going toward Skipper's
Georgia like "two-forty on the

Many of your readers will doubt- j
less be glad to hear the above im
portant piece of news.
Congressman W. J. Talbert was
over among the homefolk at Red,
Oak Grove Church on first Satur
day and Sunday of this month.
Our debating society at What
ley's school house has been dis
placed by a weekly prayer meeting
Rev. Mr. Shell, colportur for
Edgefield, preached several good
sermons at the school house lately.
Rev. G. W. Bussey preached for
j us last Sunday night, and is now
?among us visiting his flock, who
love him as he deserves.
Major Talbert, colored, was
thrown from a mule, his left foot
caught in the reins, the mule ran
away, dragged him some distance,
breaking his leg and dislocating
his knee joint.
I saw Mr. Mat Bigham at An
tioch union and asked him about
I melting those Alliance shoes. He
replied. "Jim Miner is mistaken,
them shoes was some he made for
me twenty-three years ago, while
he was running a shoe shop about
the size of a dog house on Irwin
branch. Them shoes always look
ed too horrible for a proud mau
like me to wear, so I set them
aside, thinking age might improve
them. But, like Miner himself, j
they got no better, till times got
so hard and my pride being reduced
I deigned to wear them to Edge
field, and when Jim saw that all
the antis were left out he wept at
my feet till the soles drapped out."

The Townes Case.
j A ugusta Evening News.
The case of Townes vs. the City
of Augusta will be put in motion
Wednesday morning at the office
of Mr. W. T. Davidscu, the City
Attorney.
The case is a very important one,
and when it goes to trial it will at
tract much interest throughout Au
I gusta, as the amount involved in
the case is a very large one.
Wedue8day a number of wit
nesses will be examined relative to
the river overflowing certain lands
near the locks. This testimony
will bear upon the question of
whether or not tbe;placing of the
present city locks caused the water
to back up on this land. There are
number of witnesses in the case,
and it. will take several days for all
of the testimony to be taken down.
This suit was brought by Messrs.
Croft & Tillman, of Aiken and
Edgefield, in the interest of the
heirs of the Townes estate of Edge
field county. The plaintiff in the
ca?e claims that the deed making !
the land on the Carolinaside upon
which the locks are built over to
the city is defective and will not j
hold good. The city?claims that j
the deed is valid and that the titles j
to the land will stand the test.
